get enum name from enum value [duplicate]

Answer 1

What you can do is

RelationActiveEnum ae = Enum.valueOf(RelationActiveEnum.class,
                                     RelationActiveEnum.ACTIVE.name();

or

RelationActiveEnum ae = RelationActiveEnum.valueOf(
                                     RelationActiveEnum.ACTIVE.name();

or

// not recommended as the ordinal might not match the value
RelationActiveEnum ae = RelationActiveEnum.values()[
                                     RelationActiveEnum.ACTIVE.value];

By if you want to lookup by a field of an enum you need to construct a collection such as a List, an array or a Map.

public enum RelationActiveEnum {
    Invited(0),
    Active(1),
    Suspended(2);

    private final int code;

    private RelationActiveEnum(final int code) {
        this.code = code;
    }

    private static final Map BY_CODE_MAP = new LinkedHashMap<>();
    static {
        for (RelationActiveEnum rae : RelationActiveEnum.values()) {
            BY_CODE_MAP.put(rae.code, rae);
        }
    }

    public static RelationActiveEnum forCode(int code) {
        return BY_CODE_MAP.get(code);
    }
}

allows you to write

String name = RelationActiveEnum.forCode(RelationActiveEnum.ACTIVE.code).name();
